I just brought this up in an other thread. Here's my opinion. Keep in mind I play Scouts decked out with speed enhancers and focus on lightning strikes, long kills, and using my mobility to destroy foes. I consider myself a HARDCORE gamer and would love the game to benefit from having a better GUN GAME.
Problem is - when you shoot someone THERE IS NO EFFECT AT ALL on movement it seems. I'm sorry but something should happen. At least an animation... Some blood? Some type of jerk? SOMETHING PLEASE . I'm tired of shooting a freaking futuristic BB gun and seeing my targets fall to the ground because it tickles them so. These "Futuristic Weapons" seriously lack any feel of power.. Seriously - for guns that are suppose to be so powerfull that a normal man cannot fire it without an exoskeleton they seem pretty underwhelming to say the least.
I don't mind strafing speed as it is now... What I do mind is the "instant juking" left, right, left, left, jump, right , and left - with no acceleration in between that dominates fire fights. Seriously... I love speed... But it's ridiculous how fire fights play out.
If you're complaining about the changes because they "target the casual" gamer - you have some serious issues in thinking. . There's nothing skillfull in playing like a ballerina. Are we playing dancing with the stars, hmmm?
The most hardcore shooter of them all - Counter Strike - had a great hit stagger system. If you got shot, your character could hardly move. So any of you saying that it's less "Hardcore" or somehow caters to the casuals to add this are freaking insane.
I said this before and I'll say it again. Killzone 3 had the best feel of any shooter I've ever played. I didn't like the guns for the most part - but the feel of them was the best ever. There was nothing like spraying from target to target with the Gatling gun in the game watching dirt kicking up, peices of cover blow apart, and enemies getting hit. YOU KNEW when you hit someone in that game. Killzone 3 was the first game where I realized that graphics do have an impact on how much you can enjoy a game...
Just because Dust514 is F2P doesn't mean it should be subpar in graphical, sound, and gun game quality.. The gun game has to be tight or else this game will fail in the long run. I hated this game at first but it grew on me because I stuck with it and saw the potential... Most people sadly will probably play it once and then put the controller down for good because the gun play is so sub par.
PS. Please - if you take away agility, acceleration, and speed... Give us the ability to skill into it if we want to be speed demons. |
